Now Tasha is about to team up with Prince Harry, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, David and Victoria Beckham, Lady Joanna Lumley, Jay Blades from The Repair Shop, Amanda Holden, comedy legend Rowan Atkinson and Andrew Lloyd Webber, and a whole host of others.
The model and dancer was born “completely deaf” and had to “overcome many obstacles” while growing up with a disability that she now calls her “superpower.”
Her parents found out she was deaf when she was 12 months old and that she had a cochlear implant, an electronic device she put in when she was five, and she had had years of speech therapy.
Since leaving the Love Island villa, Tasha has been very open about her disability and made her aware of her condition.
After receiving the invitation, she shared an emotional message on her social media.
She snapped a photo of her cochlear implant and wrote next to it, “A message just for you.
“I had this in my drafts for a long time and I had filmed another episode for my podcast today and a lot of emotions came out of it. I know on this page it has more to do with my fashion, work etc. I’ve been more real on my @superpowerswithtasha page.
“I don’t often talk about the struggles that come with being deaf and wearing a cochlear implant.
Tribute: After receiving the invitation, she shared an emotional post on her social media about her disability
“I deal with social anxiety en masse, a lot of it came from the abelist comments I received and still do to this day, common thoughts that run through my mind is “what if I can’t hear who’s against me” “what if I completely misunderstand” “what if my voice is judged” “what if someone comes along and takes out my implant” and much more.
“It’s something I still have to deal with and it’s definitely a journey!
” Most of the time I’d rather just stay in my little flat and not face it.
“I also deal with concentration fatigue – I have to lip-read, concentrate on conversations, at the end of the day I’ll have migraines and headaches, I’ll be completely drained and exhausted to the point I can’t even speak.” That’s why I sleep a lot. napping helps me recharge and get my energy back!
‘I have my bad days – it’s normal to have these days!
“but at the same time I am so grateful for my cochlear implant. it opened so many doors and opportunities for me. Just because I have a cochlear implant doesn’t mean I’m fixated. I have my struggles behind closed doors and so does everyone else.
“I just wanted to share more of my reality AND the reality of anyone who has a cochlear implant/deafness/hearing loss!!! for those going through the same thing – you are not alone! Representation is important.
“my podcast is coming very soon, thank you all for your patience and can’t wait to share it with all of you, it’s really empowering.”
It comes after Tasha hit back at trolls who accused her of breast augmentation on Monday.
The Ann Summers model had posted some gorgeous selfies in a sexy blue bikini as she gave a behind-the-scenes look at her most recent shoot with the brand.
Sporting a shorter-than-usual haircut, the blonde beauty Tasha captioned the post, “I think summer calls for a bob moment.”

One of them then commented under the Instagram post, “I read that like a boob job” — to which Tasha replied, “Well, you’re dead wrong, totally natural.”
Someone else then said, “I think someone had a breast augmentation.”
In response, Tasha hit back, “Of course they’re lmoooooo not trying to troll on anything.”
Another troll wrote, “Looks like she’s just like the rest after all. Those breasts don’t look natural to me.’
Tasha showed off her slim figure as she donned the turquoise bikini with sequined patches.
Since the piece was complete with a crossover torso strap and silver metal ring detail, she added a matching sarong on top.
The blonde beauty put her modeling credentials to good use, casting a sultry look at the camera as she posed poolside at a sunny destination.
Her shoulder-length locks are let loose in a tousled style as they are pulled into a deep side parting.
Tasha added a pair of silver drop earrings to spice up the look, alongside a nude lip and soft foundation over her freckled complexion.
Posing for a slew of snaps, the star could also be seen taking a dip when she added a nude bucket hat to the look.
While she joined a number of other models for the poolside photo shoot, all of them showing off the underwear brand’s new summer swimwear collection.
The dancer and model teamed up with Ann Summers last year and spearheaded a number of their campaigns as ambassadors, including the brand’s Valentine’s Day collection earlier this year.
